Renci.SshNet.snk gets identified as Malware

[darinkes]

During building Renci.SshNet.Tests-Project Windows Defender pops up and warns me about:
"Malware detected: -Ramson:MSIL/Hasdcrypt.A".

In Visual Studio 2017 I get an error telling me that an error occured during signing and the process was canceled cause the file may contain a Virus or unwanted software.

I suspect it's an false-positive.

Current workaround is to disable Real-Time-Protection if I want to build the Project.

Still happening in latest repo, commit e449130.

I would say it is a FP, did you open a ticket with the AV vendor?

This is out of our hands.
